Differenece between the Caldecott Award and the Newbery Award

  After reading, and looking into some research about these two prestigous awards.  I found that the main difference between the two is that the Caldecott Award is given to the artist of books for their illustrations and pictures, and the Newbery Award was the first award given to books based on the story of the book.  The Newbery Award is mostly given to books that are elementary and middle school learners, and most books have been fiction besides just a few non-fiction books.  Both awards are given out by the American Library Association and one award does not hold more significance over the other because the criteria and what the ALA is looking for is completly different.
